Hulihia" refers to massive upheavals that change the landscape,
overturn the normal, reverse the flow, and sweep away the
prevailing or assumed. We live in such days. Pandemics. Threats to
Ê»Äina. Political dysfunction, cultural appropriation, and
disrespect. But also powerful surges toward sustainability,
autonomy, and sovereignty. The first two volumes of The Value of
Hawai'i (Knowing the Past, Facing the Future and Ancestral Roots,
Oceanic Visions) ignited public conversations, testimony, advocacy,
and art for political and social change. These books argued for the
value of connecting across our different expertise and experiences,
to talk about who we are and where we are going. In a world in
crisis, what does Hawai'i's experience tell us about how to build a
society that sees opportunities in the turning and changing times?
As islanders, we continue to grapple with experiences of racism,
colonialism, environmental damage, and the costs of modernization,
and bring to this our own striking creativity and histories for how
to live peacefully and productively together. Steered by the four
scholars who edited the previous volumes, The Value of Hawai'i 3:
Hulihia, the Turning offers multigenerational visions of a
Hawaiʻi not defined by the United States. Community leaders,
cultural practitioners, artists, educators, and activists share
exciting paths forward for the future of Hawai'i, on topics such as
education, tourism and other economies, elder care, agriculture and
food, energy and urban development, the environment, sports, arts
and culture, technology, and community life. These visions ask us
to recognize what we truly value about our home, and offer a wealth
of starting points for critical and productive conversations
together in this time of profound and permanent change.
